You Will Walk Out With Your Own Gallery Quality Facemount Print
(potentially worth thousands of dollars)
All for the cost of what you would pay for a Facemount Print from any pro lab. Don't worry if you have no experience as the whole workshop is about understanding how it is done.
Demystify the actual process of encapsulating a high gloss, high dollar metallic photograph between two sheets of acrylic perfectly!
And go home with proof of what you learned!
